60 of 71 · most liked firstI don’t remember much about the movie This Is 40, but I still chuckle occasionally at the one part I do remember: Paul Rudd’s wife and kids are dancing to a fun pop song and he comes in and is like “ugh…let’s listen to some *real music*” and puts on Alice in Chains’ “Rooster” lmao
positive · AI labelView post →Just walked past a bookshelf with a copy of THIS IS 40: THE SHOOTING SCRIPT on it, and misread it as THIS IS NOT THE SHOOTING SCRIPT. Now I want to make a movie called THIS IS NOT THE SHOOTING SCRIPT, because of course, it's the finished movie, so it's not. But also...
neutral · AI labelView post →When I first saw “This is 40”, I walked out thinking Judd Aaron really must have hated his wife (and hated the movie). Seeing it a decade later and after being in a long term relationship, I get he didn’t hate his wife and it’s a good representation of relationships.
positive · AI labelView post →I have referenced the movie This Is 40 so many times of late, and I’m only kind of sure I ever saw it.
neutral · AI labelView post →And this is why there is IMV no excuse for 'This is 40' to be a film about two supposedly struggling 40 year olds who live in what are visibly McMansions.
negative · AI labelView post →Me: at 3 a.m. Thinking in movie quotes —Did you make a hot list This Is 40
neutral · AI labelView post →“This is 40” It was a pretty depressing film that made me really uncomfortable. While watching it, I think I unconsciously realized I was queer and didn’t want to live a heteronormative life.
negative · AI labelView post →Me at 3 a.m My life is now a series of movie quotes: My relationship with Lost is not your business. It's extremely personal… ~ This Is 40
neutral · AI labelView post →Lately on TikTok, I've been seeing clips from the 2012 movie This Is 40--particularly a clip where the central married couple is melting down. Leslie Mann's character tells Paul Rudd: "You don't like me." It's a harrowing conversation in a silly film, and it's made me think about straight marriages.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is 40 is such a sidereal Scorpio/Taurus opposition movie lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Trevor Noah has made the point that marriage is still considered a basic life goal, and if you haven't at least *tried* to be married, you're considered a failure. A film like This Is 40 takes a funny but also sobering look at this culture, but in the end, refuses to imagine a change or a way out.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is 40 isn't a good movie, but I think of it surprisingly often and realize that I'm 47 and haven't lived nearly as fully as the characters in that flick.
negative · AI labelView post →Judd Apatow's "This is 40" is a great film for many reasons (Leslie Mann being several of them) but the Graham Parker & The Rumour subplot is a real highlight. Parker's first album of his "pub rock" era was produced by Nick Lowe, whose fingerprints are everywhere.
positive · AI labelView post →The movie This is 40 scared the shit out of me in 2012 when I saw it (I was 26). I’m like, this looks like a terrible life. Your husband lies to you and gets you and your two kids in financial ruin. Then you get accidentally pregnant. I’m like, please don’t let 40 be like this.
negative · AI labelView post →I know there was a movie called This Is 40, but they never said 40 of what
neutral · AI labelView post →Two years ago for @huffpost.com I wrote about ‘This Is 40,’ the movie I watched on my last ever date night with my ex-husband before we separated. Can't wait to share more of this story one day in my memoir. www.huffpost.com/entry/this-i...
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok so I watched that, she is PRIMO. What movie was that? It says This is 40 ???. Ya know that's exactly what I think about piggy, someone needs to tell him he's butt F'ing ugly, stop with the shitty combover and die already.
neutral · AI labelView post →You know the movie This Is 40? They need to make a This Is 30 movie as well.
neutral · AI labelView post →If Marriage Story and This is 40 had a love child, it would be this film. The dinner fight punches your heart and the whale revives you with a Frankenstein level charge of humour. boxd.it/bZ6mMv

neutral · AI labelView post →Graham Parker's music seems to have been lost to time from a commercial perspective, despite him never really having gone away!!😐 Plus there was that great extended reunion from him and The Rumour back in that 2012 film "This Is 40"😇 👍
neutral · AI labelView post →HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE DIRECTOR OF “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”, starring Steve Carell! Joining Bluesky today, Apatow’s film catalog includes “Knocked Up” with Seth Rogen and Katharine Heigl, Adam Sandler’s “Funny People”, “This Is 40”, “Trainwreck”, “The King of Staten Island”, and “The Bubble.”

positive · AI labelView post →This is 40. I left in the middle of the movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Right? Beguiling! I once walked out of a movie (This is 40) when she showed up. I just can’t.
negative · AI labelView post →I noticed something similar in the movie "This is 40." 'Hooky' is playing in the background of one scene. The episode is like halfway through. Then a few seconds later, in a different shot, it's a totally different unrelated SpongeBob episode lol.
neutral · AI labelView post →oof, sorry, This Is 40 didn’t click. Great movie and great scene lol
negative · AI labelView post →If you haven't watched Lost yet, then put This is 40 on hold. Spoilers at the 1:39:00 mark approximately. @juddapatow.bsky.social should have given a trigger warning. Good movie though.
positive · AI labelView post →This is 40. Also great. Movie

neutral · AI labelView post →Growing up is realizing the movie “This is 40” is more of a sci-fi documentary than it is a non fiction comedy
positive · AI labelView post →I stopped after season 3, Then the movie "This is 40" spoiled the ending for me 😆
neutral · AI labelView post →She clearly had no clue who Tim Robinson was, probably thought she'd booked a This is 40 type comedy with Paul Rudd. I had tears from laughing within 30 seconds of the movie starting.
neutral · AI labelView post →I stopped watching Lost after season 3. The movie "This Is 40" spoiled it for me. I wanted to finish it but once I knew the ending, I stopped.

They sleep butt-to-face with me. Like the 2012 movie This Is 40. "Sometimes, I wish that just 1 of u had a dick."

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" before it leaves Netflix and I want a spinoff movie about Sam Elliott and Mary Steenburgen, along the lines of "This is 40".
neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly, sequel and spin-off movies should be able to stand on their own even without the prior knowledge of the previous movie(s). Think Judd Apatow's This is 40, Ryan Coogler's Creed, or Ridley Scott's Prometheus. To an extent, think Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz, too; it's not Cornetto: Hot Fuzz.

positive · AI labelView post →When I saw that movie “This is 40” in my 20s I really thought they were exaggerating how much you gotta be careful with your body at this age 😭
positive · AI labelView post →This credits scene clip from This Is 40 film never fails to make me laugh. Leslie Mann’s face as she tries, and fails, to not burst into laughter 🤣 2-minute video: https://youtu.be/J4r7YTkf9vs #Comedy #Film

positive · AI labelView post →Since the 2010 flyers were in This is 40, which movie would you like the current flyers to cameo in and who? Which current player would make a good head coach when they retire?
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven’t seen an Apatow film since I've had Letterboxd but they'd be a half star for me. This Is 40 felt like some kind of never ending psychological torture.
negative · AI labelView post →I thought that movie was named “This is 50” but it’s “This is 40.” That just aged me so bad lol
